Per the LISD Board of Trustee’s request at the May 16 board meeting, the Leander ISD School and Community Relations team is planning a targeted survey of two neighborhood codes regarding tweaks to our 2020 attendance zoning plan.

The Board of Trustees reviewed special education services, staffing options at the new transportation facility and attendance zoning scenarios for the 2020–21 school year at its May 16 meeting. In addition, Trustees approved the resignation timeline of Superintendent Dan Troxell, Ph.D.

As Leander ISD continues to work toward a districtwide attendance zoning plan for the opening of Danielson Middle School in 2020–21, the Board of Trustees asked administration to review Scenario B with a few modifications resulting in Scenario E, which is now posted.

In its meeting Thursday night, the Board approved Thompson and Horton as the search firm, which will start a community engagement process for collecting feedback to guide its vetting of qualified candidates.

As they continue to work toward a districtwide attendance zoning plan for the opening of Danielson Middle School in 2020–21, Trustees asked administration to review Scenario B with one modification, sending Neighborhood 3100 to Cedar Park Middle School.

The Board of Trustees selected a search firm to find the next LISD superintendent, approved a change of the LISD fiscal year, and reviewed attendance zoning scenarios for the 2020–21 school year at its May 2 meeting.

The Board of Trustees considered public feedback on a 2020–21 attendance zoning scenario, discussed employee compensation and benefits options and reviewed an overview of the district’s special education and special programs at its April 18 meeting.

As they continue to consider a final plan, Trustees asked for details on financial impact for school enrollments exceeding and below the building capacity. The administration presented feedback from over 400 community members through online forms and two community meetings on the most recent plan for the zoning change, scenario D.

The process for adjusting attendance zones for schools in the 2020-21 school year hit another milestone with the Board selecting Scenario D to be presented at two community meetings on April 8 and April 10.

The Board of Trustees submitted a 2020–21 attendance zoning scenario for discussion at upcoming public hearings, approved the LISD Education Foundation Plan of Action and considered updates regarding budget and new program development at its April 4 meeting.
